Colleen Southwell Holiday Gift List
Colleen Southwell, The Garden Curator, is an Australian artist and garden maker with a background in horticulture and garden design. Her tin cottage studio is settled in her garden on the rural property she shares with her farmer husband and sons, surrounded by the bush landscape that inspires her. Colleen creates finely detailed and delicate paper sculptures of botanical, entomology and ornithology subjects, each piece celebrating beauty in nature both wild and cultivated, and encouraging moments of pause to observe and consider. Her work is shown and collected in Australia and internationally and her garden is shared on occasion with visiting tour groups.
Colleen shares her garden and art-making through writing and images on her website; www.thegardencurator.com.au, and via her newsletter and Instagram @thegardencurator
